The curators all self vote with bidbots now! This is more like an investment scheme than a curation blog environment these days! Before the bidbots people would have extra steem power to vote with, and we would vote for each other. Times changed, everybody got greedy. Even me, I got mixed up in Bid Bots for a long time. Now I'm not greedy, but for the amount of steem and followers I have I only maker 15 cents a post on my own! It is not anything more than a hobby. No big dreams of striking it rich on a post anymore! Still I stay positive about STEEM that one day maybe something will change??

The place needs more content consumers. So many potential consumers got duped into delegating away small amounts of SP for minuscule short term gains. Those gains quickly turned into losses. Those losses turned into losing thousands of potential eyes on the content. Potential votes are locked away and centralized into larger paid votes. The moment one pays for a vote, they're paying for that SP and the potential content consumer to look away. Those eyes are so important though. I hope people start looking again. Looking and voting.

To get them to look we need to offer good content that they need. Niche blogs, computer tech blogs, tutorials seem to do the best. Also trending worldwide topic can be maneuvered if you can relate them well!

To get more lookers we need more cookers! lol thanks!

I disagree with your idea of what successful content is/can be. I'm more about variety. If I walk into a library or a browse a magazine rack, I wouldn't be impressed if I only saw a book about tech.

What works for one, won't work for everyone. It's not always about content. If someone writes about trees, nobody cares. Who wants to follow a tree? The moment that individual adds their own personality into it and makes it about their experiences with trees, people follow. People follow people. I like motovlogs on Youtube. Not all motovlogs though. If the individual inside the helmet is boring, I won't watch. A combination of personality and content is important. That's why those plain writers who stick to writing basics do so poorly here. What would this post above be without my jokes about how my day started? Just another steemian yelling at clouds.

I wasn't saying all successful content must be X or Y. I was not trying to start an argument either?? I was just talking about some good topics. Of course when I say technical blogs I would hope the author had his own unique spin on it, their own reaction of code to teach us! I idid not say anything about variety. I was not telling you what to do, just what I noticed the big players do to make more than the others! And as for the botguy posting on your blog, sorry about that, not under my control. I have haters, some things I post about threaten their way of being. Whatever that person does is all them, nothing to do with me! Thanks!

Please take whatever problems you have with that individual elsewhere. My blog isn't the place for this.
